Later investigation developes the fact
that young Ramser had considerable
provocation for the shooting of Ed Fen
mel on the Dick Clyde last Sunday even
ing. Ramser and lady friend were
sitting off by themselves on the boat
coming up from Credit Island, and
several young toughs persisted in
annoying Rsmser and insulting
his companion by walking to and
fro in front of him, the chairs in
which he and the lady were seated being
in such position that it was necessary
to remove them whenever any one passed
Finally Ramser demonstrated, when the
rowdies all attacked him, but he drove
them off with cane. They then came
up unnoticed by Ramser and pulling him
off the chair, began to kick and cuff him
Then he drew his revolver and fired with
the result rs stated before and shooting
under such circumstances was more ex>
cusahle Unless the wound proves more
serious than is at present anticipted, M
police action will be taken.
